Sky City Wars

Cold Space

Gordon paced around the cockpit of the S.S. Galleon. "What's wrong Gordon?" Asked Aaron. Harold is dead, the key is not helping us find the fourth part and this man or whatever isn't helping." Said Gordon. "What man?" Asked Aaron. "The writer of this letter. Anise and I looked over everything about it. There's no micro card, no hidden traces of writing. Nothing at all." Said Gordon. "Let me see it." Said Aaron setting his coffee down. "What can you figure out that an AI couldn't?" Asked Gordon. "I worked and studied every single kind of secret code, writing and or scratch anyone has ever made." Said Aaron. "Well then okay." Said Gordon handing Aaron the paper. 

Aaron studied it over and then held it under the light. "Aha." Said Aaron. "What?" Asked Gordon. "A simple thing called invisible ink." Said Aaron. "Well I thought Anise ran that test. "The thing is Gordon. You can't tell if something is written in invisible ink with a scanner. Guys who know their stuff, like this guy did, can write without a trace." Said Aaron. "How did you know it was there?" Asked Gordon. "Simple holding it under a light deal. Since it is writing and it might be invisible ink it still leaves a shadow." Said Aaron. "Well what does it say?" Asked Gordon. 

Aaron walked over to the glass table and set a light underneath and shone it upwards. "Here. It says. 

You found out that I wrote in between the lines. Well the fourth piece if you can't figure it out, is on Pluto. Yes the coldest planet in the Milky Way. Well it is on the surface buried only thirty feet below. There is a huge rock to the left of the hole so you know where to dig. 

"That is insane. We need to go to Pluto?" Asked Gordon. "Yes, but hey this ship can make it to Pluto." Said Aaron. "Yes I know its gone like fifty times the distance." Said Gordon. "Then what is the problem?" Asked Aaron. "Pluto isn't even a planet even more, hasn't been since 2015." Said Gordon. "Well then we are going to Pluto." Said Aaron. "Then we go to Pluto." Said Gordon. "This conversation is totally useless." Said Aaron. "Yeah why did we have it?" Asked Gordon. "You started it." Said Aaron. 

"Anise. Fly us to Pluto." Said Gordon. "Right away." Said Anise as the ship started to rev and then it jolted forward. "We are at Pluto." Said Anise. "Right, now we need to find a huge rock with a small indent to the right." Said Gordon stepping onto the surface. He had on a spacesuit and was slowly walking towards a huge rock.

"Aaron, why aren't you out here helping me dig?" Asked Gordon. "I need to run the drill from here." Said Aaron. "I need to set up the drill out here, a two man job." Said Gordon. "Why do you think I sent Sik out there with you?" Said Aaron. "Right, whatever." Said Gordon. 

Aaron sighed and watched the camera on the suit. "I see the indent. So set up the drill right above it." Said Aaron. "I know, I've done these excavation jobs before, hence why I have a drill for this one purpose." Said Gordon. Aaron laughed as Gordon set up the drill with Sik. 

Harold walked out of the changing room and stood in front of Jenny. "How do I look?" Asked Harold. "Absolutely amazing." Said Jenny laughing. "Well I can't wear this everyday." Said Harold. "That's why there is a full wardrobe sent to your closet." Said Jenny. "I have no money." Said Harold. "Yes you do, per say of your account. Mr. Quadrillionare." Said Jenny. "Quad?" Asked Harold running over to the computer. "You can buy Mars 400 times." Said Jenny. "Mars is worth 100 Trillion?" Asked Harold. "I don't know the math, but I was exaggerating." Said Jenny. 

"Where do you suggest going next?" Asked Harold. "Go to the weapons store and hardware stores next." Said Jenny. "Thanks." Said Harold as he walked out the door. He sat down in the car and started to drive away. He noticed he never got Jenny's number. He sighed and drove to the weapons store. 

"Good evening Mr. Moore. How can I assist you today?" Asked the man standing at the counter. "Yes, um I need a weapon or two and some ammunition." Said Harold. "Well we got that, I suggest you buy these two gladiator swords and this German Tank officer's 9 mm." Said the man. "Thanks." Said Harold grabbing the swords and the pistol. "Good to go?" Asked the man. "Yes I am." Said Harold smiling. "You're all paid for." Said the man. "Good to meet you, what's your name?" Asked Harold. "It is Earl." Said Earl. "Well see you later Earl." Said Harold walking out the door. He hopped into the car and drove back to the house. 

He walked in through the front door and saw Jorge sitting on the couch watching the news. "Seems like an interesting afternoon. Hungry?" Asked Jorge. "Very." Said Harold. "Well here is dinner." Said Jorge as he stood up and sat down at the table. There was a large platter that was lowered onto the table. 

Harold dug into the platter and they enjoyed the dinner in silence. "Harold, tell me. How did you become so insanely wealthy?" Asked Jorge. "Well it is because I created the worlds first robotic company that sold robots to every family in the world. On top of that I run organizations for a lot of people around the world. I own a few small islands and a few other things here and there." Said Harold. 

"Wow sounds amazing." Said Jorge. "How about you?" Asked Harold. "What about me?" Asked Jorge. "You seem well off, how did you get here?" Asked Harold. "Well I was a young boy on Earth until I was twenty. My great grandfather, told me about how he and his buddies were going to go search for a key of sorts. He told me about this place, called Atlantis. He said it is supposed to be a real thing in space. He said that the parts of the keys are scattered across the galaxy and when all four are together the key brings you to the secret place in space. I thought it was Bologna because he was a crazy man. He told me to go to the Cayman Islands. To look in a cave. I didn't believe him until my friend and I went to the Cayman Islands and we spent a month there exploring everything." Said Jorge. "And?" Asked Harold. "Never found it." Said Jorge.
